Representatives unanimously approved the formation of “Houston Area China Earthquake Relief Committee” in the meeting. Three pastor delegates and one representative from each of the above mentioned organizations formed the committee. The committee will handle the details of fund raising and distribution. In addition, Light and Salt association was appointed to handle the administrative works and bookkeeping.
